Everything, in one app

A barcode app that grew up

Generate, scan, organize, automate, and glance — across iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch.

60+ barcode formats

Generate and scan UPC, EAN, QR, Data Matrix, PDF417, Aztec, GS1 DataBar, postal codes and dozens more — retail to industrial.

Native Apple Watch app

Pull any saved code up on your wrist, browse the PLU database, and hand off a barcode between wrist and phone mid-scan.

Fast, precise scanner

Real-time camera scanning with torch, pinch-to-zoom, auto-focus and photo-library scanning — plus a remote scanner driven from the Watch.

235-code PLU database

The produce desk in your pocket: search 235 codes, see what’s in season, flip organic/regular, and drill with a built-in cashier quiz.

New

Organize everything

Nested folders, notes, favorites, biometric-locked codes, a Map with Nearby, Focus filters, and a 30-day Recently Deleted.

New

Widgets & StandBy

Home & lock screen widgets, Watch complications, a Control Center clipboard generator, and StandBy QR-Time + barcode swiper.

New

Deep automation

Dozens of App Intents & Shortcuts that return the barcode image, a watchbar:// URL scheme, and a system-wide “Generate Barcode” share action.

Private by design

Your library syncs through your own private iCloud — no WatchBar account. Lock individual codes behind Face ID or Touch ID.

Private by design

Your codes, your iCloud

WatchBar has no account and no ads. Your library syncs through your own private iCloud — on by default, switch it off anytime. Scanning happens on your device. To fix crashes we collect anonymous diagnostics through Firebase Crashlytics, and you can lock any code behind Face ID or Touch ID.
